The couple got married earlier this year after the king met her in Canada where he resided before his ascension.

Queen Chanel is very honoured to represent Jamaica in such a big way. In an interview with Jamaican publication The Gleaner she said she’s proud to be fulfilling her destiny.

My ancestors were taken away as slaves, but I have returned to Africa as a queen. One’s destiny cannot be altered. As a young child, I always wanted to come to Africa, but didn’t know how. I feel this is a great opportunity for black people worldwide to return to their home.

Our forefathers and ancestral mothers were cast away as slaves to never return, but I want Jamaicans everywhere to know that Africa is so nice. The culture and traditions are so rich and lovely. It’s truly something every black person should come and experience.

On dressing appropriately, the queen said it is her responsibility to set a proper example for young girls and women in the community and said her dressing is to be conservative and respectful.

No matter what I wear, my shoulders and full legs must be covered at all times. All of my clothes are custom made to match these requirements. Also, as queen, the king and I like to regularly visit the local schools in the community to remind the children of the importance of education and excelling in all areas of their school work and examinations.

She also said her only minor challenge is the food and not being fluent in the native language which is Yoruba.

I know some words. Everyday, I am still learning. Another challenge is that the food is quite different from our mouth- watering Jamaican dishes.

Ah…no na…she IS a queenly queen. To be honest, i first saw a picture of her during the whole ooni wedding brouhaha without even knowing she wasn’t nigerian and i said to myself “this Olori is a Chic!” No too much ‘senrenre’ about her unlike a number of others whose pictures I’ve seen. There was just something different about her. Check her in the second picture now, how many people can wear those huge shades indoors without looking tacky

She looks good and chic. Tall and slim. I vex small bcos I feel like nigerian foods are easy to adjust to. I eat jamaican food all the time and its not much different from naija foods. The only difference is spices used. But then caribbean are attached to their foods and believe their foods are superior the way naijas believe. Also, sometimes black people take longer to completely welcome, adjust to Africa in general compared to some oyibo.

Says the person who has Sade’s picture as her profile. What does looks have to do with her achievements, abilities or responsibilities in being queen? Your thought process on what a queen should be or look like is flawed from the onset. There is no guide book on being queen is there? Or did you write one that the world clearly missed? Clearly you decided to overlook her decorum and poise in favour of your flawed judgement. Good luck to you.

Nah, I think you’re reading too much into her statement. She didn’t denigrate our food… she said it’s ‘quite different’ from their cuisine, which it is. Sometimes those of us who grew up eating and loving Nigerian dishes forget that it can take time for those from other parts of the world to adjust their palates to our food. Just as some of us long for our mouth-watering Nigerian dishes when we’re abroad and struggle to enjoy the ‘different’ foreign food, others are entitled to feel the same when they come here. Also remember she was speaking to a Jamaican publication, so it’s only natural that she would big up their dishes a bit.

Mtscheeww, who royalty don help? All these flamboyant lifestyle on top tax payers money with no value added. They no longer uphold tradition. I strongly doubt if she knows half the history or traditions attached to her role.

My ancestors were taken away as slaves, but I have returned to Africa as a queen. One’s destiny cannot be altered. As a young child, I always wanted to come to Africa, but didn’t know how. I feel this is a great opportunity for black people worldwide to return to their home.

HAHAA this life! if you marry orobo dem go talk if you marry lepa dem go still complain that she’s bony. Instead of these people complaining to concentrate on their books and life they hating oloriburuku people, no be the king curse you to be baeless. King enjoy your queen it’s your choice , a good one!

Confusion break bone. Naija which way? Do you want democracy or monarchy? Govt steal money, monarchy collect allocation? Why can’t we just follow one path that leads to graceland rather doing corner corner. Same thing with all these religious folks. When thunder fire and Jesus no gree show face na that time them go remember say dem get one Diety for their backyard for village to Appease then go back to bros J. I tire for Black man ooooo!

forgive me if am wrong but,didn’t comments here say that a yoruba monarch can only get married to a fellow yoruba woman?so how did this king do it?i really admire this, rules are made to be broken especially when you love some one,a queen should be judged by her abilities and character not necessarily by her origins

I agree with cleobriggs efik/igbo food is too tasty might work better to her palete where as amala blah xp that can’t transcend [like who eats that] efik food is the ish but i don’t gerrit y don’t she just cook her own food or get a jamaican cook or teach her cooks how to prepare her own cuisine… jamaican food is awesome . king abdul you did well very well jamaican spice plus perks of vacation in jah when u want heck yas. i don’t get the monarchy ting but her get a naija /jamaican/italian food household I’d pay grooms price 2 marry u myself 😀

whoa take it eazy oo I’m late but I wasn’t trying to be tribalistic just that amala is an acquired taste… nyways I stand by efik cooks/food being the best n I’m not even any part efik but cross river/calabar ppl can cook … oya sue me if u want. why we say efik/igbo is the sides close in between abia nd cross river just slayage wit their food. just try an efik person’s cookin u will know wat the deal is.

You see how incredibly senseless you are? You and cleobriggs. So Amala is the only Yoruba food? Try Igbo and Efik? Really?! You Igbos (some of you) like wahala, you start trouble then cry Biafra afterwards. By the way, when the Igbo food(s) become the standard for tasty African delicacies? You can leave comments without stirring something. BN, if you like screen my comment, you’re biased so it’s expected.

I hear say she be factory worker for canada..and she dey come form levels for here with food,humanitarian,environmentalist buhaha..see as she balance.She never see dis kain correct levels before.She better humble now..anyway, d news go soon come out sha..lool
